AntiECN marking: a marking scheme for high bandwidth delay connections
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we describe a simple scheme that uses feedback from underutilized high capacity links to allow a TCP connection to aggressively increase its sending rate. The feedback is in the form of a single bit in the packet header and is given per packet. The scheme uses aggregate information to provide feedback and does not require the routers to maintain per flow state. We show through simulations that such a scheme allow TCP connections to efficiently utilize high capacity links without increasing the implementation complexity at the routers.

Two Bits are Enough
We design a congestion control protocol that uses the existing IP ECN bits to achieve efficient and fair bandwidth allocations on high Bandwidth-Delay Product (BDP) paths while maintaining low persistent queue length and negligible packet loss rate. Our protocol uses load factor as a signal of congestion and makes use of a packet marking scheme to obtain high resolution congestion estimates. Ou...
متن کاملAdaptive low priority packet marking for better TCP performance
This paper proposes a packet marking scheme for TCP traffic. Unlike previous literature work, in our scheme the majority of TCP packets are transmitted as high priority. The role of a low priority packet appears that of a probe, whose goal is to early discover network congestion conditions. Low priority packets are marked according to an adaptive marking algorithm. Numerical results show that o...
متن کاملQueue delay estimation and its application to TCP Vegas
This paper proposes a modified Vegas algorithm, which can be adjusted to take a fair share of the bandwidth compared to other TCP’s. In order to do this, we investigate the maximum round-trip time achievable in steady state flows fully utilizing available link capacities without marking packets. With this, the marking queue delay is defined. We also propose an estimation algorithm for the marki...
متن کاملHow to Achieve Fair Differentiation
We present a simple packet level model to show how marking at the DiffServ boundary node and scheduling and discarding inside a DiffServ node affect the division of bandwidth between two delay classes: elastic TCP flows and streaming non-TCP flows. We conclude that only per flow marking together with dependent discarding thresholds across both delay classes is able to divide bandwidth fairly, a...
متن کاملTwo-Differentiated Marking Strategies for TCP Flows in a Differentiated Services Network
The saw-tooth like behaviors of TCP impact Assured Forwarding Service flows in a differentiated services (diffserv) network. Therefore, we argue the use of TCP-friendly building blocks (or modules) and fairness modules in the diffserv architecture regarding this issue, and propose Two Markers System (TMS) that is able to properly mark packets and fairly share the bandwidth to each flow for thei...
